He drives cross country to attend the funeral and pay his respects. He decides to spend the summer there working as a laborer. He meets Jerri Jo Hopper (Purcell), and falls in love, along the way developing new friendships with the town locals. He then must decide what direction he wants his life to go, whether to return to California or stay in Missouri.
